water
A substance that is not a solid or gas, takes the shape of its container, has definite volume, but no definite shape.
Something that takes the shape of the container it is in. E.g. Water takes the shape of the container which it is in.
A liquid has a definite volume but an indefinite shape. It takes the shape of its container.
It doesn't! It takes the shape of whatever container you put it in. At least, it takes the shape of the floor of the container.
Liquids and gases will "take the shape" of their container.
Liquids and gases will "take the shape" of their container.
A liquid takes the shape of any solid that it is contained within. For example water within a square container will appear square, but water within a triangular container will appear triangular.
Liquid. You can measure the exact volume of a liquid but you can put it into containers that changes the shape of the liquid.
"liquids"
A liquid is a substance that can be poured and takes the shape of its container.
Liquid has a definite volume but takes the shape of its container, while gas has neither a definite volume nor shape and expands to fill its container. In a liquid, particles are close together and move past each other, while in a gas, particles are far apart and move rapidly in all directions.
The matter is in the liquid state when it takes the shape of its container but maintains a fixed volume. Liquids have defined volume but take the shape of their container due to weak intermolecular forces that allow them to flow. Examples include water and oil.
